Going Forward: A Modern Industrial Strategy for Canada in the face of growing inequality and the rise of precarious work

This paper is a foundational piece for the CMIS. It advocates a change from the laissez-faire approach to Canada’s economy to a planned long-term strategy based on the input from stakeholders such as governments, labour, business, civil society and academia.

It offers recommendations on how to challenge inequality today through progressive taxation and redistribution, protecting and enlarging public services as well labour law reform aimed at the strengthening of unions.
